Hey there,
I find it quite annoying when the game just started and a lot people start of with ally request ingame. So I have thought of an option to get people not making overpowered allies or any allies at all ingame.
Maybe it would be an option to implement another switch for games that have no ingame chat available. That way people cannot chat with each other and cannot form any alliances at all.
Maybe there are other people out there that think the same way I do.
